I purchased a carpet kit for the front trunk 2 pieces .
I need to now cut my wood .I can make a template

but my question is : does the carpet wrap around the edge or is it cut the same size as the board .
Also I see a "tail" is often left longer than the board so that the carpet can wrap up the backside
any insight maybe a photo of the underside of a correct one would really help .

Or a link ... I have studied the " front trunk " thread in originality on this forum, but still cant quite make out the needed info

Here’s the shape you need (drawn around a stock original trunk carpet on new perlon)

Here’s how it’s wrapped and stapled on the board.

Real easy job and about £10 GBP or $16 USD for the perlon.
